#110 Dr. Sean O'Mara | Unseen Epidemic: How Visceral Fat Leads to Chronic Disease

As we age and start to experience subtle shifts in our bodies, we might notice more swollenness in our joints and puffiness in our faces and generally feel more lethargic and less mentally sharp. These are telltale signs of chronic inflammation that could be linked to high levels of visceral fat—the “hidden fat” that’s stored deep inside our organs. Doctors tend to focus on visible, subcutaneous fat as an indicator of metabolic health, causing them to miss metabolic dysfunction in leaner individuals. Identifying and lowering visceral fat levels could be a canary in the coal mine for identifying true metabolic health and prolonging life span. With chronic disease on the rise, the average American on 4 prescription medications and holding at least one “chronic illness” to their name we need to begin to ask better questions as to why this is happening.Today on Decentralized Radio, Ryan sits down with Dr. Sean O’Mara for a deep dive into the dangers of visceral fat, what foods and lifestyle factors promote visceral fat production, and how we can take steps to lower our levels to prevent chronic disease and prolong our life span using natures lawsDr. Sean O’Mara also discusses the differences between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, how visceral fat impacts circulation, the gut microbiome, how to test your visceral fat levels, and the best diet and exercise regime to follow to lower production of visceral fat.
